THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. The Anti-YolsheVik Bloc of Nations (ABN) ,?a Mainly military anti-Communist
organizatLon of Eastern European refugees, formed and directed by ,a group
of Ukrainians, tries to dissimUlateby all means its Ukrainian character.
The ARN-endeavors to enlist members from all the 15 nations enslaved by the
Soviets, including China, but with the ekclusion of the POles; with whom the
Dkratnians have unbridgeable differences.
2. One of the extreme right Hungarian dmigre. organizations, the so-called
"Raagarian Liberty Movemeat", directed by General Francis Farkas, has collaborated
-with the ABN since the beginning and enjoys a strong, almost favored position
in the ARV among all other nationality groups. General Farkas was even elected
head or the AENts military org nization.
All the &ler Hungarian dMigr4 groups dislike the role played hyl General Farkas,
and strongly object to the fact that he placed himself and his Hungarian splinter
group ander an almost purely Slav leadership., which, in addition; is directed
by the Okrainains, who are almost identical with the Rassians. Another
objection is that the MN, though professing an anti-Communist ttitude,
employs terroristic. methods and seems to favor a dictatorship in the futu.re.
Thie, however, the ABN denies at present and asserts that they are opposed
nr.ft only- to Bolshevism, but to every form of imperialism.
4. Despite criticisms of the other Hungarian 4migr4 groups, collaboration between
General Farkast Hungarian Liberty Movement and the Ukrainian-led ABN becomes ever
c1aq5er. In Great Britain, in the ABNcs youth group, Melchior Kiss is the most
active tram among General Farkas', adherents; in Australia Zoltgn Mbrentey
and Zoatecn "rmUsy are the leaders. The movement used to have some British
support aad is avowedly anti-American.

5. Oenrai. Farkas and his adherents counter criticisms by the other Hungarian
gmigr6 groups by allegtng that the ABN is the only international anti-Communist
owt openly rejects the Paris peace treaties, whereas all
the other internional irligr4 organizations stand onthe'discredited Trianon bis,

'these internationamigT6 organizations, accept a political concert
